#Meteotsunami or #MeteorologicalTsunami

This entry was posted on October 2, 2024 by Anne Helmenstine (updated on May 6, 2025)

"#ClimateChange is expected to lead to more frequent and intense storms, including thunderstorms and squalls. These #AtmosphericDisturbances generate #meteotsunamis, so a rise in storm activity may result in more frequent meteotsunamis in certain regions.

Key regions include:
- #MediterraneanSea: One of the most well-known meteotsunamis occurred in the #BalearicIslands in 2006, with waves reaching over 4 meters.
- #GreatLakes (U.S. and Canada): The Great Lakes experience meteotsunamis during periods of intense thunderstorms or pressure changes. In 1954, a meteotsunami struck Chicago, causing significant damage and claiming seven lives.
- #EastCoast of the United States: Meteotsunamis have been recorded along the eastern seaboard, especially in the Gulf of #Maine and #Massachusetts Bay.
- #AdriaticSea: A notable meteotsunami occurred in Vela Luka, #Croatia, in 1978, reaching 6 meters in height."

The town was founded in 1771 by British Col. #PatrickMackellar and was originally called Georgetown in honour of #KingGeorgeIII; however, it takes its current name from the large fort nearby, known to the British as #StPhilipsCastle. Col. Patrick MacKellar (Argyllshire 1717-1778) was the chief engineer of Menorca and his house today is known as Son Granot.
